I liked The Clark Sister’s film, Lifetime is getting a little better with their biopics.

That's great casting. Disappointed that it's on Lifetime (which I don't have). Hopefully, it will run on the W Network one day, but they're always too busy airing seasonal-themed white people in love movies.

I may not be religious at all, but I do love me some gospel music at times. Black choirs are just so dope.
